    Yeeha, running the RC1 on my own site. Waiting for the final to upgrade all other sites.

    Canonical meta link is a great new feature!
    Nice work once again

    Cheers man, great plugin, but do I need to deactivate and re-build my galleries from scratch? How do I simply update? Also did my best t ocontact you through the forum but no answer, why is album Title and thumb not showing in 1.1 with [album=1,extend]? it shows the galleries instead! Thank you

    I just discovered a problem with the multi lingual feature. Here is the thread: http://forum.wordpress-deutschland.org/plugins-und-widgets/48313-nextgen-gallery-sprachen.html#post232258

    Maybe its not yet too late to implement this?

    Tank you very much.

    @marco : Deactivate plugin, delete older folder, upload the new version or autoupgrade later. Activate the plugin again. Please use the new shortcode [album id=x]

    @Yanesa : I will have a look

    I’ve installed NextGEN, about a week ago and was loving it. i’ve upgraded it yesterday. but i’ve noticed that when i import a gallery folder from the server, it doesnt create the thumbnails on the fly like it used to do.

  8. Gravatar Icon 8 alex.rabe Posted March 1st, 2009 - 19:30

    @Rob is this releated to V1.2.0 ?

  9. Gravatar Icon 9 Kev Lewis Posted March 1st, 2009 - 23:52

    NextGen is looking better with every release Alex :)

    When editing the galleries and content would it be possible to view the galleries sorted in alphanumeric order rather than “date of creation”/chronological order ? I have a large number of galleries and I’m having to search through a large number of pages looking for the correct gallery, if they were listed alphanumerically it would make life so much easier.

  10. Gravatar Icon 10 Rob Posted March 2nd, 2009 - 02:10

    yes, 1.2.0

  11. Gravatar Icon 11 Spel Posted March 2nd, 2009 - 10:16

    I have problem

    I regularly have updated plugin and something happened in last 2 weeks

    Last time I have add some gallery was before 2 weeks, and today after some possibly update I have done in last few or more day, I have message in next gen overview that my database is kind of older and nextgen must update some things – Ok I have click update, and after that I get several messages which talk about nexgen cant add some new stuff into database – I saw that next gen has been using some user to access to db which don’t exist – I use root for working with db and not my own user name on blog – Ok what happened next is that after those several messages I cant add new galleries

    Any help to overcome this problem will be appreciated – I have even remove and install new V 1.2.0 rc 1 nothing has been changed

    Any ideas how to solve this?

    Hi there,

    I seem to be having a strange problem.

    When i upload some particular images the colours become very soft in a way. The images look totally different to when i view them on the flash compared to on the pc. Has anyone else experienced this issue??

    Some images look fine as they are seen outside the website. But some are just way off in terms of colour.

    Is it just me?

    I can upload a screenshot of what im talking about if you like? I can even show you the original pic before uploading.

    Ta,

  13. Gravatar Icon 13 Ragge Posted March 2nd, 2009 - 14:26

    I have a problem with the letters æ, ø and å. When you click on a singlepic, æ shows like “æ”, ø shows like “ø” and å shows like “Ã¥”. In galleries it’s OK.

  14. Gravatar Icon 14 mike dutton Posted March 2nd, 2009 - 18:16

    I’m having the same problem as Marco, I think. Every gallery I’ve created is shown within an album instead of the ones I wanted. I tried using the new [album id=x] format as well, but with no luck.

    I auto upgraded the plug-in, so I’m not sure what else needs to be done. Thanks for any help. Everything else looks great, Alex!

  15. Gravatar Icon 15 Ben Gillam Posted March 2nd, 2009 - 19:20

    bird3.jpg (Error : File not found)

    Get one of those for every picture i try and upload from zip. seems to make gallery but wont show the pictures or thumbnails.

    Cant wait for final working version :)

  16. Gravatar Icon 16 Kev Lewis Posted March 2nd, 2009 - 22:35

    Sidd, your problem is the colour profile of the images being uploaded. You need to use sRGB profile rather than RGB profile otherwise the images look washed out when viewed in a browser

  17. Gravatar Icon 17 A_Flama Posted March 3rd, 2009 - 03:58

    Very cool! I’ll make sure to test it :D
    Thanks for the great plugin!

    Hello Alex,

    A few of us had a character encoding problem with the 1.1.0 but a guy figured out the solution and posted it here:

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/238044?replies=3

    Could you please take a look and maybe change it by default for the upcoming new release? Thank you very much for your efforts.

  19. Gravatar Icon 19 Spel Posted March 3rd, 2009 - 21:02

    Alex

    Will you suggest me something issue mentioned above – What to do?

  20. Gravatar Icon 20 marcO Posted March 4th, 2009 - 09:37

    Hi alex,

    little feature request: whats about a native rss feed for the gallery so users can subscribe to the feed to have a new added images notification. The mrss is allready pretty nice but thumbnails in the feed would be really nice to have.

    –rgds marcO

  21. Gravatar Icon 21 Winged_Soldier Posted March 4th, 2009 - 10:12

    Dear Alex!

    Thank you for all your great work!

    I tried the newest version, and I found an annoying error, which I managed to resolve. The character encoding goes bad in the image’s title displayed in thickbox, lightbox, etc, when using accented characters (non-english). More information can be found here:
    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/238044?replies=3
    Also there is a non-professional solution there, but it works.

    To be honest, I don’t really know php, just learning it, so I’m not sure, if it is the best solution. Just wanted to catch your attention about the problem, and offer a temporary solution for others suffering in the same illness :)

    Thanks,
    Winged_Soldier

  22. Gravatar Icon 22 marco Posted March 4th, 2009 - 10:41

    Thanks alex, Let me start saying that this is a great plugin, much appreciate your work; )unfortunately I did what you suggest but no luck, I deactivated the 1.1 plugin and did upload the 1.2 RC1 still the Album title is not showing unless I put a gallery in (showing me the gallery name instead).I manage to modify the gallery.php to get the alt/text underneath the pictures in the gallery (but in IE6 it show the code top-right the thumb altering the layout, damn!.

    A solution would be extremely welcome

    Hi, Alex Rabe.
    First all, congrats by this amazing plugin. That’s really cool thing. I’d like a feature request on slide mode: max thumbs gallery by page.
    Something look like ur slide post page to navigate, will be fine too. This all in slide Mode.

    regards,

    K.eon

    Hi Alex,
    I love using the NextGEN plugin – it saves a ton of time :) I noticed on the forums you were looking at putting thumbnail captions back into this new release, but I don’t see it as part of your list (unless I missed it, in that case, sorry!). Are you planning on putting this back in? I’d love to have thumbnail captions! :)

    Many thanks,
    Kat

  26. Gravatar Icon 26 Faidon Posted March 6th, 2009 - 06:55

    Hi and congratulations for a well maintained plugin! I was wondering if it was possible to use the slide show as a “featured content gallery”, that is make the images of a slideshow link to specific relevant posts. There was a hack in aan older version of NEXTGEN, that has now dissappeared….
    Thank you

  27. Gravatar Icon 27 Robert Posted March 7th, 2009 - 01:40

    Hi and thanks for making such a great plugin!

    Was wondering how I can I have a main page that points to all my galleries maybe with a thumbnail for every gallery?

  28. Gravatar Icon 28 tapirul Posted March 7th, 2009 - 04:05

    I have a problem that existed in the previous version as well: if I use slideshow (or any of the outputs from NextGen FLashViewer plugin, simpleviewer, tiltviewer, etc), I get this on my main page:

    [Show picture list]

    The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed..

    Both Plash Player and Javascript support are there… It happens both in Firefox and IE….
    Any ideas?

  29. Gravatar Icon 29 jwqlb Posted March 8th, 2009 - 01:24

    hallo alex,

    danke für dein umfangreiches plugin.
    ein problem würde ich gern beseitigen.
    zwischen dem aufruf “[Zeige als Dia-Show]” und den nachfolgenden thumbs hätte ich gern einen abstand – sprich eine leerzeile.

    an welcher schraube muss ich drehen, um dies umzusetzen?

    habe mir selbst geholfen.
    für alle, die es interessiert:

    in der ngg_shadow.css, in zeile 235 (.slideshowlink) habe
    ich “margin-bottom: 20px;” eingefügt.

    vielleicht kann das mal jemand gebrauchen.

    vielen dank noch einmal für die große hilfe und unterstützung hier im blog.
    ich hätte zwar noch ein ähnlich gelagertes problemchen, aber da stoße ich wohl hier wieder ins leere.

    @jwqlb
    Falls das mit der “große hilfe und unterstützung hier im blog” ironisch gemeint sein sollte, möchte ich nochmal ausdrücklich sagen das Support NUR über das Forum (und nur dort) zu erhalten ist. Stehet ja auch ziemlich eindeutig im Impressum…

    Es macht keinen Sinn hier jede Frage als Kommentar zu lösen, das würde dann so auf 10000 Kommentare hinaus laufen. Danke für das Verständnis.

  35. Gravatar Icon 35 tdu Posted March 15th, 2009 - 05:37

    I am having the same error someone mentioned above every time I try to activate the plug-in: Fatal error: Call to undefined function admin_url() in /wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/admin/admin.php on line 136 .

    When the error occurs, I can’t even log into my dashboard. I have to go into my FTP and delete the entire Nextgen folder.

    There is mention of the same thing in a support post on the wordpress.org forums as well, but no replies.

    Could you give me any tips? Thanks.

  36. Gravatar Icon 36 stefan Posted March 15th, 2009 - 11:05

    Hoi Alex,
    Erstmals danke für das Plugin. Ich habe zwei Fragen:
    a) Ich habe bei den Gallerieoptionen “Number of columns: 0 (0 will display as much as possible based on the width of your theme)”, weil ich möchte, dass die Gallerie so viele Spalten macht wie die Bildschirm-/Fenstergrösse des Betrachters erlaubt. Ich habe nun aber den Effekt, dass das nicht immer richtig hinkommt. Viele Zeilen haben dann weniger Thumbs als die “voll gefüllten” Zeilen. Mir scheint da ein Rundungsproblem vorzuliegen. Wie kann ich das korrigieren? Ich verwende Thumx von 140x105px.
    b) Ich habe die Thickbox eingestellt. Ich möchte in der Gallerie drei Bildgrössen vewenden:
    1) Thumbs
    2) Bild in der Thickbox auf z.B. 800x600px reduziert
    3) Bild voller Grösse und Auflösung
    Wie kann ich bei den Bildern (z.B. in der Thickbox)einen Link erzeugen, der auf das gleiche Bild in voller Grösse zeigt.
    Danke und Gruss, Stefan

  37. Gravatar Icon 37 Kelly Posted March 15th, 2009 - 18:13

    Alex THANK YOU for all of your hard work, I’m still working on implementing the gallery into my site- but so far so good. Bravo!! PS. I’d love a random image widget for the side bar, have it pick from the latest uploads or a certain album etc…

  38. Gravatar Icon 38 dash Posted March 15th, 2009 - 21:10

    lovely work thumbnails go perfect too
    Q: album thumbnail where to spicify this now..?
    i dont like the one it has picked for me
    thank yu so much!

  39. Gravatar Icon 39 Darren Posted March 19th, 2009 - 23:00

    Hi I just wanted to say thank you for the plugin. I have a simple question for you. All of my pages on my blog are “Posts” and all of the images I use are links to my main Flickr page so that I do not clog up my system. So just a quick question, is there anyway that i can use links to the images to create the gallery instead of the actual images themselves ?? If anyone knows how this can be done or if there is an answer to this question somewhere else, then i would appreciate it.

  40. Gravatar Icon 40 Angela Posted April 8th, 2009 - 16:09

    Any word on the fatal error when activating?? I’m having the same problem. Thanks.

  41. Gravatar Icon 41 Kevin Posted May 14th, 2009 - 17:00

    I’m having the same fatal error problem. You’d think whoever created this thing would be replying to some of these…these questions are over a month old!

  42. Gravatar Icon 42 CS Posted May 22nd, 2009 - 22:18

    I have installed nextgen-gallery and the image list and image browser are working great. However I downloaded this plugin for a non-profit organization because of the slide show. I have downloaded the imagerotator.swf and uploaded into the wp-content/nextgen-gallery/ root folder.
    I have create a slideshow called “font-page” the folder is present in the /wp-content/gallery the photos are in there. And when I add the code tp the page to display the slide show, nothing show. I tried [slideshow id=1 height=219 width=419] and [slideshow id=1], uploaded the swf. file in various places and still nothing any idea. (my version is 2.7.1
    Any help would be appreciated.

    thank you

  43. Gravatar Icon 43 Nick Posted May 22nd, 2009 - 22:30

    I am using it on 2.7.

    “gallery not showing up”
    - my first gallery i added worked well, then i couldn’t get it working again – until i used the button in the visual editor to add the gallery. Now works brilliantly…

    except a close button! Any ideas on how to add that (like thickbox?)

  44. Gravatar Icon 44 Mark Williams Posted January 8th, 2010 - 12:16

    Excellent plugin all round. Very clever.

    One suggestion if I may?

    A “close” button. Watch users clicking through galleries – many of them have trouble closing the enlarged images.

    Would improve usability.

    Cheers ;)

  45. Gravatar Icon 45 Mark Williams Posted January 9th, 2010 - 00:43

    EDIT: adding to my last comment:

    DOH!!! The close button function is already there! I didn’t realise the “thickbox” effect not only provides a close button, but also sizes the enlargement to fit properly on the visitors screen – whatever size it is. This brilliant plugin just got even better for me.

    Keep up the good work ;)

  46. Gravatar Icon 46 navin Posted March 17th, 2010 - 22:51

    hi mark
    where is the close

  47. Gravatar Icon 47 Fabi Posted April 4th, 2010 - 19:24

    Navin, you need to change the effect to Thickbox in order to see a close button.

Who's linking?
